Manchester United transfer news: Alexis Sanchez could leave for Inter in next few days, says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that Alexis Sanchez could leave Manchester United in the near future amid interest from Internazionale.

Sanchez, United's highest-earning player, has failed to justify his hefty salary since joining on a free transfer from Arsenal in January 2018.

Solskjaer had recently expressed confidence that the Chilean would stay at Old Trafford beyond the close of major European transfer windows on 2 September.

But the United manager confirmed after a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night that Sanchez could be allowed to leave if an acceptable offer is received.

"There's still a couple of weeks left of the transfer window and there is a chance," he said. 

"Some clubs have shown interest in Alexis, so we'll see what happens. I can't update you more than that."

Sanchez is yet to appear for United this season having played at this summer's Copa America with Chile and missing his club's pre-season tour through injury.

The 30-year-old has scored just five goals in 45 appearances for United since his high-profile arrival more than 18 months ago.
